Even if Kevin Kolb was expected to play, with Beanie Wells banged up you would have to love the Eagles defense in Week 10. With Kolb potentially sitting out the game? They should have a monster game, especially with their secondary.

While the 49ers defense has been great this season, they do draw a tougher matchup against Eli Manning and the New York Giants. While it wouldn’t be surprising to see them shut down Brandon Jacobs (or Ahmad Bradshaw if he’s healthy enough to play), Manning is playing at an extremely high level and will be tough to silence. Just keep that in mind, though they should remain one of the better options in the league.

I know how good the Jets defense is, but does anyone really want to count on them shutting down Tom Brady, Wes Welker and company? I wouldn’t put money on it…

I dunno, I have a bad feeling about starting the 9ers this week. I see them giving up at least 1-2 TDs through the air, and perhaps their first rushing TD to Jacobs. Giants D will shut out 9er’s offense and force the 9ers D to play much more, tiring them out.

I would because Jacksonville’s defense just doesn’t do much. They are 19th in the league in INT and 22nd in Sacks. They may give up a less points (maybe), but are they going to add points anywhere else?
